Corporations have taken control of our government AND media. And of course social media are corporations. So, nevermind that the "New Deal" is bullshit, there is almost no way for a pro-people idea to get traction. The best chance we have is Ranked-Choice Voting.

Aren’t these the same Democrats who have thrown everything at @Wikileaks to silence it and it’s editor @JulianAssange. This is an organisation that covers everything - all news, all nations -with fact.

Do the voters in the rust belt care about Russia? I thought the Dems would focus their policies on those voters

So, the #RussiaHysteria and #NewMcCarthyism they started is becoming inconvenient. It's limiting their ability to make empty promises about healthcare, while opposing #Medicare for all. That's a shame.

Dems for a long time thought yelling PUTIN over & over would be their magic weapon against Trump. Now, most realize that was a pipe dream: they actually have to do things for people's lives if they want their votes. But MSNBC is high on ratings by feeding partisans Russia all day

Assuming this is true and that Democrats really want to talk about something other than Trump/Russia do they really have anyone to blame but themselves?

We documented last year how the obsession on Trump/Russia by the most-watched cable show for liberals - the show that sets the agenda for their favorite network - has become so extreme that it has suffocated debates relevant to Americans' liveshttps://theintercept.com/2017/04/12/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-sees-a-russia-connection-lurking-around-every-corner/ …

Universal health care for all the poor people that can sneak across our borders? How much will that cost taxpayers? Jobs they mean Government jobs? Taxpayers there goes your cash? Democrats ZIP, NADA, Dems will cast Americans into destitution then comes COMMUNISM.
